Communicate, Don't Just Decorate
Branding for Creative Entrepreneurs
Grow Your Visual Brand
Brad Blackman founded Chrome47 because he thinks good design should be like a smoothie: tasty, valuable, and easy to consume.
He helps entrepreneurs visually grow their brands by communicating instead of decorating. Make things look good, but with a purpose.
Brad designs book covers, email campaigns, magazines, websites, illustrations, and social media graphics for a variety of clients, primarily for creative professionals like Jeff Goins and Jeff Brown.
When he isn’t finessing logos or fine-tuning the perfect grid for a layout, Brad paints, drinks coffee, and spends time with his wife and three kids.

“While I had an idea of the feel I wanted for my book covers, I only gave Brad a loosely articulated vision. He provided three very different options, and all of them nailed it. It was so hard to choose just one, but I’m thrilled with my final choice, and the design adapts perfectly across several books in the series!”

“One of the smartest decisions I ever made in my business was hiring Brad at Chrome47 to first redesign my podcast artwork and then conceptualize my virtual summit branding.
The entire event was incredibly well-received. I got dozens of compliments on how the event felt and looked.
He went above and beyond, was always on time, and made our 3,000-person event feel like a 300,000-person event! He’s that good.”
Jeff Brown, creator of the Boss-Free Virtual Summit and the Read to Lead Podcast
“I’ve worked with Brad several times over the last couple of years and he is an excellent designer. He always seems to get the look I’m going for after just a conversation. Brad is always professional, meets my deadlines and gives me and my church a quality product. If you are looking for excellence, Brad is your man.”
